Book Description
This work tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, and journey together to the shrine of St Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another, shot through with cunning wit and dry humour.
About this book: Geoffey Chaucer (c.1340-1400) was one of the finest storytellers in the English language, as well as being a great poet and an accomplished prose writer. The Canterbury Tales, although incomplete at the time of Chaucer's death, is generally regarded as his greatest work. The Canterbury Tales tells the story of 30 pilgrims who meet by chance at the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London and journey together to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket in Canterbury cathedral. To pass the time along the way, they tell stories to one another. The Tales themselves range from the exemplary saints' lives told by the nuns, to the bawdy, comic tales of the miller and the reeve, always shot through with Chaucer's cunning wit and dry humour. Chaucer leaves his readers with the impression that the whole of medieval society has passed before their eyes. This new transcription and edition is taken from British Library MS Harley 7334, a beautifully decorated, volume produced within ten years of Chaucer's death. The aim of the present edition, with its 'on-page' notes and glosses, is to enable readers with little or no previous experience of medieval English to read and enjoy this landmark in English Literature.

评分 评分语言课和阅读课都在研究这本书，读完了绝大部分的故事，并且依照旧例，当堂背诵general prologue开头十八行。还蛮喜欢这本书的，故事趣味性强，除个别故事如knight's tale外都不算长，很多同学直接读middle english，实在hold不住，还是选了这个译本读的现代英语。因为是诗歌体...

评分于2017年01月13日读完。 一个14世纪的故事系列，多用诗歌讲述，少数几个故事使用散文写成。故事多世俗，多关于男女之事，有些地方写的比较直接。 比较有意思的段落如下。 “对于上帝的或者妻子的秘密，做丈夫的不应该感到好奇。只要他看到上帝赐给他的...

那些惆怅的英美文学课啊.......
评分一點也不喜歡。
评分哲理型長詩麼
评分关注主题：religion / gender / age as a performance / deconstruction/ history. Chaucer是否对一切主流的价值观都抱着嘲讽揶揄的态度呢？我们是否过度解读了中世纪的诗歌呢？不管怎么样，这是一本真正的宝库。
评分Most hated book in our Senior World Lit. class...Not so bad after all those years.
